VILIFYING 75 MILLION CITIZENS, PLUS ANOTHER PROBABLY 75 MILLION TO 150 MILLION, IF WE WANT TO BE ACCURATE ABOUT IT, AS THREATS TO DEMOCRACY AND ENEMIES OF THE STATE. YOU ARE ALL ENEMIES OF THE STATE. HE IS AN ENEMY OF THE STATE, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH. THE ENEMY OF THE STATE IS HIM AND THE GROUPS THAT CONTROL HIM, CIRCLING AROUND HIM DO THIS, DO THAT, JOE. I THINK PHILADELPHIA WAS A GREAT CHOICE TO MAKE THE SPEECH OF HATRED AND ANGER. HIS SPEECH WAS HATRED AND ANGER. BY THE WAY, THE NEXT MORNING, HE FORGOT WHAT HE SAID. YOU SAW. [LAUGHTER] I ASK HIM, I DID NOT THINK I SAID THAT, DID I. I FEEL LIKE THE RED LIGHTING BEHIND TEMPERAMENT LIKE THE DEVIL. BUT PHILADELPHIA WAS A GREAT CHOICE BECAUSE THE CITY IS BEING DEVASTATED UNDER DEMOCRAT RULE, DEVASTATED. ~Donald Trump, 2022 Compare, > **[Gloves off, Biden embraces tough tone on 'MAGA Republicans'](https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-biden-donald-trump-presidential-pennsylvania-edd46881a1c0c71df97663ac37236f26)** > > In recent days, President Joe Biden has sharpened his attacks against Donald Trump and the so-called MAGA Republicans for posing a threat to democracy. ~Max ---

This cite is not C-SPAN saying Biden’s speech was divisive and filled with hate and anger. It’s C-SPAN reporting that _ **Trump said** _ Biden’s speech was filled with hate and anger. Trump says lots of shit that’s blatantly untrue. Seriously, you’re smarter than this, dude. ---

You misunderstand me. I meant to imply that Trump was the source, specifically that “hatred and division” comes from Trump’s “hateful and divisive”. ~Max ---

I understood what you meant. What you’re really implying is that HBDC is so dumb he accepts what Trump says at face value. That’s pretty dumb. ---

Well, in its defense, it claims to have once believed that “wrist action” has some magical effects at the pool table, and when given conclusive, contrary evidence, it decided to change the parameters of its thread and rather abrasively upbraid those who chose to continue to discuss the topic. Changing goalposts in FQ? Meh, whatever. Not my fight, but it is hilarious in a laugh-out-loud way. Mental plasticity or evidence of general curiosity? Not that good, Not a straight shooter, from what little I’ve seen. Squirmy little dude, is my guess, and my language is only restrained by respect for this board, to which I am a newcomer as a poster, and uncertainty about any restrictions on language. I think “wormy” or “weasel” are pretty innocuous, however, so I stick by that. ---

Well, here in the Pit, just about anything goes. Insults are _de rigueur_ here. For instance, I can call @Max_S a cockstain. Note to @Max_S : I only used your name because you had recently posted in this thread, and made a handy example. Not for any other reason. ---

Well, I consider myself fully informed, then! Not that I give a good godamned what that motherfucking little scrub who pules a bunch of crap about pocket billiards and whines like a little bitch and backpedals like a cornhole fetishist. But I feel empowered. And that douche should probaby go join a cult and demonstrate the proper way to ascend. Worthless. But, on the positive side of life, accidents in the bathroom are alarmingly common. Perhaps that neckbeard will pay dividends for those who wager correctly. ---

I’m not expecting ignoring him to drive him off. I mean he would leave if he was ignored but I’m aware you’re incapable of doing so. I’m just baffled at the helplessness. ---
